few politicians who seek to em0itter this
controversy with partisan politics, and
thereby create end foster divisions in the
respective parties of the state whose
status should not be disturbed?
We neither mean nor affirm that the
Democratic party is committed to prohi-
Dition Ms q party measure. But we DO
claim that it is committed TO the doc
trine tina. this is a. non partisan
question, and therefore, that Dem
ocrats, as citizens, may vote for
or againt this amendment without
fGrfeiTing party gtlHatiOn and without
dIm,nUtjJn of party fealty and allegiance.
But if any DemOcEat, whether PrOhibi-
tiOni5ts or anti-ProhlOitionist, shall at
tempt to cOcrce, ny invoking the party
name, his brother DemOcTS ''hO differs
from him upon this outside question,
such a msn Justly be held ard treated as
g bOlter from his party platfOrm, and as
disOrganiZeF who opens the door to dis
Indignation. Let sue inquire whether
a course which practically OstraCizes
SUCH leaders as Senators Coke and
MaXey, Congressman Reagan, Lanham,
Miller anu CUlbersOD, and MesSrs.
Thomas L. Bonner, W. S. UerndOn, j. r.
Fleming. j. Il. Wynne, Chairman EXall,
and host Of other equally EOnOred
standard bearers will justly entitle them
to the future support If the party.
! We therefore, and confidently, appeal
J 10 the people of Texas, without regard to
! party affiliations or religious views, to
unite with Us, as citizens Of Texas, in
ABOLISI SIZING THE UNION OF WHISKY
AND THE STATE.
/ As the great j, ffersOn, Madison and Pat
rick Henry, and men If eli religious
convictions united in Virginia to dissolve
{ the uDhOiy alliance between church and
state, we 60 not believe that either one,
however good or bad, should nave such
| connection.
We call upon you, fellow citizens, to
aid Us in purifying the bslLot box, the
police courts, the legislature, and all
municipal ana state governments from
( the coUuptiDg influence Of TIE liquor
traffic
We call upon you to cooperate with
Us il eliminating from the
BODY polite this dominating and
oversbadOwiUg monopoly snd hierarchy
hich to-day darEens every hearthstone,
menscCs every free institution, and de-
t-nt!y violates every law.
We aSk you, SIS . eoile, 20 rise up IN
your majesty ana redeem tie lad from
this terrible waste If mstsIi-i resources,
this undermining power which saps the
foundations Of social virtue and purity,
this organized pIUtCcrsCy which is ever
ready to export its millions OF money
from northern breweIies and Gisdlleries
into Texas to buy up, br0Wbeat and dong
mate a free Texas election.
We ask you, you who have ever with
stood invasion from anV shore, if you will
allow this corruptiGg tide Of money, ever
flowing from inexhaustble Golfers, which
are ever filing with the price Of blood, OF
slaves, and the souls of men, 30 defeat

NEw YORK, April 9.-Tne Tribune to
day prints the following card: "To the
Editor of the Tribune: SIR-In reply to
absurd rumors that have been travelling
around the country for five years past,
and more particularly in reply TO q
Washington dispatch IN the New York
Times last Monday, which names me as
authority on the subject, allow me to
state the following facts:
l. The statement thst Senator Sher-
man owns 1000 shares in the First Ma
tional Bark Of this city is false in every
particular lie does not own a share
in that bank and never has owned q snare
in il.
. The statement that ne owns bonds
Of the Union Pacific Railway is entirely
FALSE. He does not own shy Union Pacific
bonds and has never owned any Of them
or stock In that corporation.
3. The shares held by him in the Pitts
burg end Fort Wayne Railroad are held
by him in trust, Jointly with General
Csss and are in no sense his personal
properly; therefore the statement that
he he,d stock in that corporation CT
$40, geo f. q fs'sehOod.
4. The statement thG5 the Senator has
between fifty and sixty houses in Wash
ngton, besides valuable lots, etc, is not
only untrue bat displays remarkable
ingenuity in the falschooG. TheIe is real
estate agent in Washington named John
Sherman, whose advertisement Of houses
for sale and to rent are prom
inent throughout the city. The
signs upon these houses and lots
are the only conceivable foundation for
such q grotesque assertion. The en-
ployment Of reckless persons to furnish
fals. hoods tor publication concerning
public man not only djscredits the en-
pIovcr, but does more to inCite class
prejudice than any other Csuse. Very

Waco Examiner Of September Is, 1885:
"PrObiOitiOn or local option, cannot be
maintained in the precinct by any srgu-
ment which is not equally potent to
maintain it in the county and in
the state, and vice vyrsa. e
The argument would seem stronger
for the county and still stronger
for the state because Of increased
number, and therefore, greater good. II
! good for this pr c,nct it is better for the
county and best for the state" To
! precisely the same effect, so far as
the principles involved are concerned, is
! the interview OF the Hon. II. Q. Mills pub
| lished in TIE same, during the same year
! ) l. Is also we'll knUwn fact that the
! Twentieth Legislature, largely Demo
cratic which, upon the Recommendation
of Governor Ross, submitted this am nd
! ment to & vote Of the people, did refuse 20
entertain the proposition to order this
election at the same time with the general
election.
That this refusal was based uDon their
desire to isolate this question from party
pc tics is manifest by the following sol
emn declaration signed by seventy six
! Democratic members Of that Legislature.
Many others would have signed it had it
been presented to them before they left
Austin
Whereas, the Democratic Convention
held IL Galveston in 1856 declared that a
Democrat could vote either for or against
prohibiting the sale Of liquor without af-
fecting his party standing; and
Whereas, a Democratic legislature, on
the recommendation of a Democratic
governor, has submitted the question Of
prohibiting the sale Otliquor il Texas to
a vote OF the people on the 4th of August
next,
Therefore we, the undersigned Demo,
Gratis, do most cordially and heartily in
dorse the opinion of G lionel Henry EXa,l,
chairman Of the state Democratic eXecu-
tive committee, that prohibition is an
issue in which the Democratic party can
not take part, as party, and we earnest
ly pledge ourselves 10 oppose every at

party question, and mus SOW the seeds
